Buddy Carlyle has elected free agency.

Carlyle missed most of the season following hip surgery. He was surprisingly effective for the Mets in 2014, but as a soon-to-be 38-year-old coming back from a hip operation, his prospects are looking dim. Fri, Nov 13, 2015 08:58:00 AM

The veteran third baseman missed the entire 2017 season due to a variety of injuries. He underwent surgery in September to repair his right rotator cuff then had a laminotomy procedure on his lower back in early October. While he says that he still has every intention of playing for the Mets again, he's impossible to count on for fantasy purposes.

Mets' general manager Sandy Alderson said Sunday that Michael Conforto (shoulder) may not be ready for Opening Day.

Alderson told reporters Sunday, "He may be ready to go by Opening Day but I don't believe he will be". Conforto underwent surgery in early September to repair a tear of the posterior capsule in his left shoulder. Even if he isn't quite ready by Opening Day, he shouldn't be sidelined for much longer.
